ACADEMICS AT WESTERN At Western our life has been influenced more by the Academic Department than by any other phase of our school life. As Seniors we too played an important role in the academic field — not only as students but also as leaders who had to set a perfect ex- ample for the underclasses to follow. We sup- plied this leadership through organizations such as the National Honor Society and the 400 Club. The most enviable organizational member- ship is that in the Western Chapter of the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. Because of its exacting requirements and be- cause of its unique position in Western tradition, the National Honor Society provides for out- standing seniors an organization in which they have great responsibilities and are able to exert a direct influence on campus life. Not only must a candidate be scholastically bril- liant, but his service, character, and leadership must all be of an exemplary nature. The National Honor Society is charged with inter- preting cadet opinion and presenting it to the faculty opinion — in other words, it acts as a liaison committee between the Corps of Cadets and the Staff. Although the Honor Society has no specific disciplinary power, it is a faction for the betterment of the morale of the whole Corps. The other organization which is sponsored directly by the Academic Department is the 400 Club. Although the prime purpose of this Club is to honor those students who make a 400 on a home grade, the members of the Club 400 endeavor to raise the scholastic standards of the Corps. With the assistance of the sponsor, Capt. Schaff, it is no wonder that the Club 400 was one of the most prominent organizations at Western. However, it was the teachers who gave us the most guidance in the varied topics covered under the wide program offered. We can never forget those who were our instructors at Western and the classes which they so nobly conducted.
